    They are not asking anything from the crowd. The fans live and breathe for these songs. The guitarist once said in an interview that they have songs where lead singer Hansi actually doesnt have to sing anything because the fans knows and sings every word. And that is a big part of this band involving the crowd like this. This is such an epic performance from both band and crowd. Loved this reaction. Thank you :)

      Actually, this entire shenanigan with the crowd singing Valhalla after the song's finished started by people just keeping singing the chorus for minutes, not letting the band get a word in, who wanted to move on to the next song. After some time they just accepted it and made it their own, by having these playalongs and whatnot.

    This is Wacken where a great crowd of 82,000 metal-heads meets the best metal bands who are on their A game when they come there! BG is a legend and here in their homeland they are loved and revered if this does impress that point on you nothing will. Shout to the sound engineers at Wacken as almost everything you get from a band that performs there is truly awesome to experience. Wacken is a "Bucket List" item for anyone who loves music not just metal music, as you see the community interaction is just sensational.

    You can find in YT an older show probably in Wacken too. When then end Valalla, the audience continued to sing and they picked up the song for a few minutes, and that was in the middle of the show, not the last song ! It's awesome and very cool.

    The song with the endless chorus! Blind Guardian would be on the Rushmore of Power Metal. One of the great all time bands. I started listening to them in the early 90s, and they've grown so much over the years. It's really too bad they don't have many videos of the best songs. They DO have a 2020 Virtual Wacken 3 song video which is pretty cool.

    Hansi is one of my favourite vocalists. He has 3 or 4 very distinct modes of singing and the way he moves between them always works so well. For the original studio version of this, it was actually ft Kai Henson of Helloween. His super high screams make that version sound quite different. "Mirror Mirror" is another excellent song that most people seem to recommend. My personal favourite is "Into The Storm", though.

    I love that this popped up in my recommended tonight - Wacken 2016 was my first actual contact with Blind Guardian. We were there to see Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister (the other headliners), and while I've heard about these guys before, power metal wasn't really my speed. But this? The crowd's energy, and you don't get this sort of crowd anywhere else except for maybe Hellfest and Woodstock/Pol'And'Rock, it was magical. Valhalla chant was going strong for at least 30 minutes that took us to leave the main festival grounds. Absolutely incredible, so I really enjoyed this little reminder of ye olde times when we had live shows and could hug total strangers in the crowd because the night was over and we just shared something extraordinary...

    As other said, "Nightfall" and "Mirror Mirror" are two Songs of Blind Guardian strongly recommended.Of course the live-version.
    I also recommend strongly "How many tears" from the band "Helloween" also live, but with the live-version of their "Pumpkins United"-tour, because there you will get all three singers of the Bands history at once. One singer with a guitar also. 😉 From Helloween then also "Keeper of the seven keys" with the same lineup. Really great stuff.

    One of my all time favorite bands, true bards of power metal. And I simply enjoy the epic, Tolkien inspired themes. As a next reaction I would suggest And then there was silence, really an epic one about the fall of Troy (Studio version or the one from Imaginations through the looking glass DVD czcams.com/video/yaJEyKYSlo8/video.html). That's by far their best live concert(s) so if you go for live performances, it's best to look in there. Another one you have to check out is Mirror, Mirror. Cheers
